Robbo staying for now

-

MARK ROBINSON reaffirmed his commitment to the AFC Wimbledon cause following their latest defeat.

Adam May’s superb strike condemned the

Dons to a fifth straight loss that stretches their winless run to 20.

Robinson was backed by the board this week, and said: “If I felt I’ve lost the players I wouldn’t be here because the club is the most important thing.

“I don’t doubt myself.

“I’m sure if the board had a queue of people ready to take the job over, I’m sure they would come and tell me.

“I’ve never quit anything in my life and I’ve never failed at anything in my life, long term.

“There’s a reason why a manager’s lifespan lasts 16 months on average across the board, because football is a knee-jerk industry and people get sacked and don’t get a chance to build things.

“In all my years here, it’s never been a job. It’s always been a lot more than that. So of course, it’s immensely difficult, but I’m just doing my best to deal with the situation.” Cambridge boss Mark Bonner was delighted with his side’s performanc­e, especially after their coach was delayed on the way. “We had a horrible start to the day. It took us about three and a half hours to get here.”
